\(1|1\) parallel transport and connections (Q714439)

In her paper published in [Pac. J. Math. 236, No. 2, 307--332 (2008; Zbl 1155.58001); addendum ibid. 256, No. 1, 253--256 (2012)], the author developed the theory of \(1|1\) parallel transport on supermanifolds. In the present paper this theory is interpretated in terms of the parallel transport on manifolds. Let \(E\) be a \(\mathbb Z_2\)-graded vector bundle over a compact smooth manifold \(M\). An even connection on \(E\) is a first-order differential operator \(\nabla:\Gamma(M,E)\to\Gamma(M,T^*(M) E)\) such that \(\nabla(fs) = (df) s + f\nabla(s) (f\in C^{\inf}(M), s\in \Gamma(M,E)\), preserving the \(\mathbb Z_2\)-grading of sections of \(E\) along vector fields of \(M\). The main result of the paper is a natural bijection between \(1|1\) parallel transports and even connections on \(E\) over \(M\).
